“Stopped in later in the evening with my family. Business was light. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms. We ordered a family meal for four, which was plenty. Didn't know they had spicy filets now. Got our half original and spicy. Okra was good but needed salt. Staff was very helpful in helping us make side choices. Note that half of the sides have .89 upcharge.

“First time there and I got the donut burger.
It was incredible (though I wonder if one donut split in half would have been sufficient).
The burger was more of a smash burger and it was cooked really well. The fries were garnished and seasoned and had good flavor.
My only point of contention is that the location shares the space (and bathrooms) with the gas station next door which is a bit less than desirable, so here's hoping they find a new location in the future.
That said, this place will go on our lunch rotation. Really good stuff.“

“The four of us shared focaccia, tallow fries, and one order of crispy potatoes was not enough, so we ordered a second 😂 My Alaskan-raised husband was so happy with the halibut and I enjoyed the fiori so much.
The atmosphere is amazing, definitely something new that Lexington has been needing.
We had a great server with great recommendations and she was very knowledgeable.

“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.“

“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.“
